About this title

Synopsis

From design expert—and interior design readers’ favorite—Phoebe Howard, comes a book focused on decorating with beautiful blue color schemes. Coastal Blues is a glorious decor book filled with inspiring images of beach houses, seacoast getaways, vacation cottages, and luxurious seaside manors.

“Known for her stunning Southern style.” —Oprah.com

A hardworking how-to-get-the-look book that offers solid interior design and styling advice, Coastal Blues features brand-new, never-before-published projects, with every page reflecting the ease and casual elegance of shoreline living.

Phoebe Howard shows design lovers how to make coastal style modern, fresh, and very much their own. She writes, “Blue connects us to nature more than any other color. But it also connects us to worlds of possibility. We gaze out at the sea, fantasizing about exotic lands, and stare up at the sky, contemplating the limitless universe. Just like the universe’s unlimited potential, blue knows no bounds. Its variations and versatility are what make it so attractive to so many. Did you know that, statistically speaking, blue is the world’s favorite color?”

Working in blue, Phoebe helps you choose wallpaper, furniture fabrics, serving ware, window treatments, and much more.

Whether you are decorating or redecorating your beach home, or simply want to bring coastal style to your urban or suburban home, Phoebe’s ideas, beautiful blues, and popular designs will delight you, your family, and your guests. Coastal Blues is the perfect book for a coffee table, but it will be referred to again and again . . . and it makes a great gift book.
